Alpha Omicron Pi also has a statement on their position regarding the selling and purhcasing of AOII items. It states that in order to preserve the integrity of AOII, "Alpha Omicron Pi Fraternity strongly requests that all initiated members refrain from selling and purchasing any AOII paraphernalia (including badges*) at auctions including on-line auction houses such as eBay), antique shops, flea markets, and the like. Our membership in AOII is a privilege that should not be sold for any one member’s financial gain." Similarly, our members purchase a "life leasehold" on a badge, and they are returned to HQ at the time of the member's death unless the Executive Board determines otherwise.
